QUOTE (Mazel @ Jan 22 2010, 08:16 PM) When you say "look at" do you mean click on the actual post? If there's a post titled "S> Holy Ring 45k" I obviously won't need to open it up. The posts I'm looking at are the ones that I have to in order to see what's specifically being bought/sold. Yeah I mean click on the post. I guess I'll edit that real quick

If the boards here are updated, I just used their search feature to find if anyone was selling, with variations on spelling and using acronyms too. If I have to scan, I'm looking at titles. I'll avoid bank sales unless the item is a common one (any mythic drop, etc.) in which case it would be likely to be found in a post like that. Item names in the titles are just more useful. If you can't fit it all, at least put in a few items and then "more" at the end to let people know you are selling some quality stuff instead of junk. Most bank sales are just that, junk. -Falaris

I'll read the ones that say "Bank sale" most often, because you don't need to read the ones that include the item in the title.
If you're willing to buy a couple of their items, they'll usually give you good deals because they're trying to clear up space and you're saving them time. Plus, a lot of other potential buyers don't read the whole post. Sometimes there are hidden treasures mixed in with the apples and soup bowls.
Prices in the post don't matter, they're just different. If the post has prices, usually they won't go under those prices. So you're basically just looking to see if there's one or two items that they're selling for a low price. If the post doesn't have prices, it means you have more room to work with, especially if you're buying a couple items.

QUOTE (Killeh @ Jan 23 2010, 11:40 PM) buy my 600 Roses plz there's better ways to sell 600 roses. first, have a tabloid publish a photo of you lying in a bed of 600 roses, a la american beauty, but not so underage, and with all the thorns and all so we know it's real. nothing kinkier than a girl with blood mish mashed everywhere (except there). second, have an escrow or third party service whom somehow acquired these roses you were lying on in the leaked photo sell the ALLEDGED KILLEH ROSES for a huge celebrity-wus-hurr cred profit margin. get a price cut off from it, or, even better, sell the roses at a high mark-up to said service, let them deal with the profiteering. third, ??? fourth YOU ALREADY MADE PROFIT, YEAH (not to mention a lot of adoring fans)

With such a small population, the boards aren't particularly useful unless you're buying or selling something very rare and expensive that will take several days to sell anyway. That annoys me. Unless it's a bank sale, there's no excuse to leave up a post for a single item that's already been bought or sold. Delete your posts.

Oh, and I'll buy your roses, Killeh. I agree Laren. I don't use the boards for the same reasons. I find it easier to just Sage on aethers and throw in a world shout or two from time to time, when I need to buy/sell anything.

It depends on what I'm looking to do..
If I'm looking for something specific, I'll only click on a post that mentions that item.
If I'm just looking to find something cool for cheap, just to resell at a later date, always go for the bank sales.
Not to mention if you make your "Bank sale" post interesting (like putting L O.O K in there or use caps, etc), and then efficiently advertise your post through Sage noting a few of the key items you got in there, but making sure you've got a few cheaper items mixed in on the post (ex- expensive stuff and cheap stuff, something for everyone!), you end up selling a lot more a lot faster =D
<-- knows from experience
